Ayushmann Khurrana's next with Sooraj Barjatya to go on floors in November: Report

Ayushmann Khurrana is set to work with director Sooraj Barjatya for the first time. He will play the lead role of 'Prem' in Barjatya’s next big family entertainer. The shooting will begin in November 2025 and the film is expected to release in the second half of 2026.

According to reports by Pinkvilla, “Ayushmann is excited to play Prem on the big screen, and will play the titular character for Sooraj Barjatya from November 2025. He will be joined by Sharvari in the month of December,” revealed a source close to the development.

“Sooraj Barjatya’s next is shaping up as a funny romantic saga set against the backdrop of nuclear families. The script is locked and



the maverick is now proceeding to cast the ensemble. Like always, the film will have seasoned actors on board, and the casting is under way,” the source added.

This will be Sooraj Barjatya’s eighth film as a director. He is known for making iconic family films like 'Hum Aapke Hain Koun', 'Vivah', 'Prem Ratan Dhan Payo', and 'Uunchai'. Just like his previous films, this one too will focus on emotions, love, and family bonds.

Apart from this project, Ayushmann has a packed lineup including 'Thama' (produced by Dinesh Vijan), a spy comedy with Karan Johar, and a dark comedy with YRF. Meanwhile, Sharvari will next be seen in 'Alpha' and is also in talks for other big films.
